Predicting the Projected Score of a match at any point using Machine Learning

For the past couple of months, I have been reading and doing a lot of stuff related to machine learning and sports. I have not come up with something that has good accuracy until today. A friend suggested me to predict the projected scores since the projected scores shown on the screen during a cricket match are not very accurate. This post shows that a simple linear regression model can outperform the traditional methods and the accuracy it gives is very good. Right now, the projected scores we get on the screen during a match are not very interesting to people watching cricket.
